For a while after my recent BAVR/OHS, I thought I was just itchy because my chest hair was re-growing in the region of my incision. But my BACK and my FOREARMS are also loving being scratched, as well as my chest. I recently bought a back scratcher, and I'm wearing it out.
Yesterday, I asked an old University buddy, who had a BAVR about 18 months ago, if that sounded familiar. He said he bought a back-scratcher several decades ago, and used it about once a YEAR until his OHS, and has been using it about 3x/DAY since the OHS!!
Is this "enhanced itchiness" common in this group? Anybody got an explanation?
